My Samsung Galaxy S10's bluetooth only connects to call audio and not media audio.

[Android Central Question]

I have a Ford Focus 2015 with the SYNC system and I was using my S10+ daily over media bluetoohth, but when I was driving yesterday I used the "OK Google" command while connected and listening to music and it messed everything up, now when I connect to my car I can connect for calls but when I turn on the audio button, it says it is on with call and audio but as soon as I try to play something (from any app) the audio connection turns off and plays the audio through my phone speakers, almost as if it is prioritizing the phone speakers.

I have tried several times to re-pair the bluetooth connection
I have tried to restart the phone before re-pairing
I have also tried a factory reset on my cars SYNC OS and then tried re-pairing
All to no avail, I'm pretty certain this is a problem on my phone and just want it to be fixed. Please help

Welcome to Android Central! Is the phone also connected to any other nearby Bluetooth devices, like headphones?

Go to Settings, Connections, Bluetooth, tap the setting icon next to the paired vehicle, confirm Media is toggled on.
